Born in Birmingham on 18 March 1942, my life has involved drawing and painting from a very early age and after gaining my O and A levels in Art and gaining my Diploma in Architecture, I embarked on a career in architecture. This predated the CAD era and I have continued to use the drawing board ever since, diverging into art when time allows.

Easing off my architectural involvement has enabled me to develop my art on a broader scale whilst maintaining my visual abilities to record what I see through sketching, drawing and painting.
